I did a quick little course on CSS variables on Scrumba today because of an article I read on dev.to
course
Codecademy?
Short article with links and brief descriptions of places where you can learn how to code.
Title: 7 ways to start learning how to code right now for free
Where: @ The Next Web by Harrison Weber
Of note: Free. Old article so not very up to date. Not all of them are actual online places to learn to code
Little crash course for Frontend development
At the end of this article there was suddenly a mention of a free online crash course for anyone curious about frontend development.
Title: Frontend Development Crash Course
Where: @ Skill Pathway
Of note: Free
It all looks polished. There is 4 hours and 20 minutes of video material. You’ll learn “HTML, CSS, SCSS, Bootstrap 4, Git, Github Pages and a sprinkle of JavaScript and jQuery.”
Thoughts: It looks like in some ways it’s too close to my current level which feels a bit like a problem I keep running into, either I know 80% of the material already or I have no idea what they’re talking about and it’s too hard. I know I’ll learn something new if I take the crash course but I’m looking specifically for something with more than a sprinkle of JavaScript.
Also, I like a video here and there but prefer a text, code examples and the occasional well-placed GIF.
